Problems with data integrity after packing Data.fs
by Lars Heber 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hi, did anybody ever encounter problems when packing the database? I think I noticed the following: I had a ZClass, changed its implementation quite often, renamed it to blahBackup, recreated a ZClass with the old name and copied / pasted functionality from backup to the new ZClass. This one now works. But: After packing the database, there was a property in my ZClass which wasn't there anymore before packing - this property existed in one of the prior versions of the class. Fortunately, I was able to fix it very quickly, but could it have mixed up more than just that method? This would be perfidious... P.S.: I never played with the Class ID (that long code in Basic tab), so that shouldn't be the problem. Is this a bug or what? Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce the error. Should I put that into the collector? -- Lars Heber, mailto:Lars.Heber@t-systems.com T-Systems, debis Systemhaus GEI GmbH, Geschaeftsstelle Sachsen

Hey Stephan, Thanks for your response, very much appreciated.

NameError: (see above) I was thinking of having a go with ZBabel & the CVS version soon, would feedback on my efforts be of use? I look forward to the next OrderedFolder release, nice one.

The bug is actually in OrderedFolders 0.4.0. There was an undetected dependency on ZBabel, which is fixed in the current CVS version. Of course, you can also use OrderedFolder 0.3.0 or install ZBabel. :-) BTW, I will make a fixed OrderedFolder release soon.

Hi Dieter, Thanks for the lead, I'll go and try to find that thread and report back.

I remember, there was a message in the mailing lists, that there is now a ZBabel proxy around that can emulate ZBabel, when it is not installed (--> mailing list archives). Dieter

Zope 2.5.0b4/2.4.x crashes
by Keith J. Farmer 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

In the continuing effort to figure out why a C-extension I've written works without error in the Python interpreter, yet causes Zope to terminate abnormally (with nary a traceback) I've started to explore the ExternalMethod code. Curious -- why does it use the method it does (apply(), etc) rather than simply importing the external module and calling the method? At this point, I'm wondering if the (transient, but fatal) error is in the Python interpreter itself, and triggers due to the way Zope handles external methods. The setup is as follows: Zope -> ExternalMethod object -> .py module with stubs to .dll functions -> .dll The crashes appear to happen on the call to the .dll file which, as I mentioned above, causes no errors when directly executed from the interpreter. The switch from 2.4.3 to 2.5.0b4 helped quite a bit, but the crashes still happen. The folks at Zope Collector are unable to suggest anything further. ---------- Keith J.

load testing for zope server..
by sree 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Dear firends, Greetings! Has any body done load testing for zope on different os/ platforms. are there any tools avaiable to do the same. For a project of mine, I need to run zope 2.4.3 on win nt 4.0 sp 6 with P3-600 MHz and 128mb ram. The zope server may have 1-2 users authoring the site all the time. I ma start with 1500 object and 3 months down the line it may reach 1,00,000 objects. How many users will be able to simultaniously browse the site?. How do we calculate the max load that the zope server can take? Any sharing real life statistics will be of immence help. Regards, - sree

It would seem to me that "zope(a)zope.org" has made it onto one of those CDROM's with "guaranteed 1 million valid email accounts to boost your business". We had an account that was being inundated by spam/junk mail, and I found out from someone who had bought the CD, when I queried them (an academic doing research, who was most helpful). Our only solution was to delete our email account... (fortunately we could). cheers Graham PS. I have written to one of these previous posters to zope@, suggesting that spamming a newsgroup full of tech-heads is not a good idea, and might cause some nasty backlash. -----Original Message----- From: felipodelacasa(a)latinmail.com [mailto:felipodelacasa@latinmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, 23 January 2002 5:29 To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Do you Want to Save Money on Toner Cartridges?

Re: Date comparisons

I looked thru > all the docs, but could not find an example. I am using in one of my DTMl-scripts the dtml-calendar. The dtml-calendar gives the date as a DateTime-object ( in the script date ). I will get a DateTime object for now with ZopeTime() call. For both objects I then call Date()-function, which will produce a string of the current date. Then I can compare these to each other. <dtml-let d="date.Date()" hasdate="hasProperty(d)" dprop="getProperty(d)" now="ZopeTime().Date()"> ... <dtml-if expr="d==now"> Hope this helps! -huima
